U.S. Post Office Food Drive
05/07/10
Barnabas staff and volunteers came together as the recipients of the Fernandina Beach Post Office Food Drive, accepting over 19,000 lbs. of food donated by local residents! Everyone worked incredibly hard as a team to sort the donated items and prepare them for delivery to our Barnabas Pantry. A special thanks is deserved for the Post Office for choosing Barnabas again as the recipient for the food drive and to Steve Kelly of Kelly Pest Control for allowing Barnabas to use his facilities.
